Discover the Right Fireplace for Your Home
As cooler weather settles in, the fireplace naturally becomes the heart of the home again. It is where families gather, conversations linger, and a warm glow makes an ordinary evening feel more inviting. Whether you’re preparing for winter, updating your home before the holidays, or creating a more beautiful living space, today’s fireplace options offer more possibilities than ever.
At Hearthside, homeowners can explore a wide selection of gas, electric, and wood-burning fireplaces designed to complement virtually any home, style, lifestyle, and budget.
Why Gas?
The appeal of a gas fireplace comes down to three things: convenience, efficiency, and simplicity.
A gas insert or log set delivers the warmth and ambiance of a traditional fire without the work of splitting, hauling, storing, and cleaning up firewood. Many models can be started with the touch of a button, making it easy to enjoy a fire whenever you want.
Gas can also focus warmth in the rooms where your family spends the most time, rather than relying exclusively on a central furnace. For homeowners who love the look of a fire but not the mess of wood, gas offers a cleaner, simpler experience.

Transform an Existing Fireplace
For homeowners with a traditional wood-burning fireplace, a direct-vent gas insert can transform an older or drafty fireplace into a beautiful, efficient heat source.
Designed to fit into an existing masonry fireplace, a gas insert provides warmth and ambiance without the work of burning wood. Today’s models offer impressive design options, including realistic logs, glowing ember beds, expansive viewing areas, contemporary finishes, and dancing flames.
Hearthside offers gas inserts from leading manufacturers such as Heat & Glo, giving homeowners the opportunity to turn an underused fireplace into a stunning focal point. With installation completed in as little as one day, a gas insert combines comfort, convenience, and style.
For homeowners who want a simpler update, gas log sets offer another way to enjoy the look of a traditional fire. Vented and vent-free options are available, with styles ranging from classic to contemporary. Gas logs can preserve the character of an existing fireplace while making it easier to enjoy day after day, plus provide warmth during winter power outages.
Starting Fresh
For new construction, additions, or major renovations, a new fireplace can be incorporated into the room from the beginning. This opens the door to greater possibilities for placement, size, style, and design while creating a natural gathering place for family and friends.
Hearthside offers an extensive selection of gas, electric, and wood-burning fireplaces, along with freestanding stoves. Leading brands include Heatilator, Heat & Glo, Monessen, Quadra-Fire, Vermont Castings, Golden Blount, and SimpliFire, giving homeowners plenty of options to explore under one roof.
